George Grellette, 88, was outside his home in the suburban Toronto community of Mississauga on Wednesday when his 1983 Chrysler Diplomat, parked with the engine running, started to reverse out to the street. Grellette ran after the vehicle to stop it but slipped under the front bumper and was run over.
